Course description
Introduction to Project Portfolio Management - In House
Stimulated by the Project Management Institute’s (PMI®) publication of The Standard for Portfolio Management, many of our corporate customers have been interested in how they can improve their portfolio management practices. Many of our project manager course participants are interested in looking up into the organization to see how projects and programs can be selected to align with corporate strategy. Although this 1-day course is part of our “Advanced Topics in Project Management”, it is a stand-alone course. Portfolio management is closely aligned with project management and program management, but it is a separate discipline. We use a recent Ivey Business School case study from the Canadian business community as a focus of discussion.
